Canal 44 (Spanish: Channel 44) is the television network of the Universidad de Guadalajara (UDG), a university in Jalisco, Mexico.
[2] On January 27, 2010, Cofetel at last approved the award of a permit for a non-commercial television station to the University of Guadalajara to construct XHUDG-TV.
The Ciudad Guzmán transmitter, which is co-located with Jalisco TV on Cerro de la Escalera, entered program service on January 31, 2018.
XHUDG has also rebroadcast programs produced by TV UNAM and by Canal 22, though those two channels are available full-time as subchannels of the SPR transmitter in Guadalajara.
The new channel broadcasts from 6am to midnight and carries the existing Señal Informativa newscasts as well as additional news, political, cultural and sports shows and documentaries.
Two repeaters of XHCPCT-TDT, both on RF channel 27, have been authorized to operate by the Federal Telecommunications Institute, filling a gap in service for some 400,000 people that are shielded from the main signal at Cerro del Cuatro.
